To be fair, when it comes to financial regulations and banking, there are very few governments that would hold their ground and stand firm against U.S pressure.

And those nations capable of standing their ground against the U.S (China, Russia, etc) wouldn't stand against them because it's in their best interests too. In fact, it appears Russia and China are becoming more strict on Bitcoins than even the U.S is. China and Russia don't like not having total control.
