This is a joke I think, why would US backed Ripple and what do China gained supporting or Backing Bitcoin, one thing Government don't like is losing control and with Bitcoin you can't have that and also the distribution of BTC and Ripple is in the hands of few people this would make them to people in control of the monetary system of the world just like the Rockefellers. Both countries would rather start their own chain than support Bitcoin and Ripple
this is not a joke this is an advertisement for their coin. most probably the site OP is quoting was paid to publish this. you can contact any news site and ask them to advertise your coin with a fake news article. and this whole method is the same. they usually say some bank is adopting XRP and backing it but now they have taken a bigger step and talked about a "country" baking XRP. it is all done for pump and dumping the coin and keeping it alive. otherwise everyone knows well enough that this coin is the most useless token of all times. and there is no future for it.
