1月8日，中国人民银行官方公号发布《盘点央行的2019|金融业对外开放》一文，其中透露，受理美国运通相关机构的银行卡清算机构开业申请。请看本报上周五的报道：

China in June 2015 allowed foreign bank-card clearing providers to obtain licenses by setting up units or acquiring a local company, ending a monopoly by China UnionPay Co. But progress in entering China has been slow for Visa Inc. and Mastercard, the world’s two biggest payment networks, with neither firm as of yet obtaining approval.

China is opening up its financial markets this year to allow foreign firms to set up fully owned operations to run insurance businesses, asset management and investment banking.

BlackRock Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are among a bevy of firms that are preparing to pile in full bore to capture profits from China’s fast-growing wealth.

China had 8.2 billion bank cards in circulation at the end of September, with 90 percent of them debit cards.

报道中的a bevy of就是“一群”的意思。例如：

She had a bevy of outstanding qualities, but her inability to accept different opinions ultimately led to a breakup.

她有很多突出的优点, 但是她不能接受与她不同的观点, 这一点最终导致了我们的分手。
