So I'm a hacker currently at MIT Sloan and have been analyzing bitcoins for sometime, so take my views with a grain of salt (I.e.: I not a Phd. I the field)
Basically, no government would like to have a electronic curency like the Bitcoin because it impedes them from controlling the money supply and therefore be able to apply monetary policies. A central bank with no monetary policy is limited in its function, consequently, the notion of a Bitcoin is like you having to program in an OS where you do not have root access or can't change versions of certain libraries etc.
China and other countries have suggested having a global currency that is backed by a "basket of currencies" -- other governments have suggested different solutions, but I can't imagine a Bitcoin to have been plotted by a government.
