It's a bit more complex than that. Chiang did not accept either Senkaku nor the Ryukyus when Roosevelt offered those islands to be administered by China in a conference (I believe it was Cairo) before the end of the war. Given that the sole China of the era rejected administration of the islands, this means that technically they were to be part of Japan or however the Allies (in this case the US) saw fit. Blaming the US or Japan for what China did is blaming the wrong party.
