There is no 'twist' here.
At the state level, a fractured China disqualified China from that status. Fractured in the sense that there was no central authority to which the US and allies could appeal to and agreed to a unified strategic position regarding Imperial JPN. That leave the US and allies and the Soviet Union against Imperial JPN. Yes, Mao and Chiang wanted JPN out, but that was the end of their common ground. Whereas, the goal of the US and allies was the complete defeat or unconditional surrender of JPN and that mean the delivery of ordnance on JPN herself. From that perspective, the Soviet did not performed as agreed upon, and China was unable to contribute.
Yes, resources from China. Not from JPN. This was the most of China's contribution to the defeat of JPN. But Operation Ketsu-go showed that to resist an occupation force, JPN can go without those resources from mainland China.
LMAO.. this is where your logic and story starts to drop. Britain, China, and the US released the Potsdam Declaration announcing the terms for Japan's surrender. So they did agreed on a unified solution.
Are you even making sense right now? China didn't perform what? China was unable to contribute what??
You're not even making sense so I'm just going to post my party sponsored sources here.

But relatively few will remember a historical fact that underpins the ceremony: China was the first country to enter what would become the Second World War, and it was the ally of the United States and the British empire from just after Pearl Harbor in 1941, to the Japanese surrender in 1945.
Yet today, China's memory of the war is becoming more, not less, important, as we move further away from it.
And many in China are becoming resentful that the West fails to remember that China was itself a significant player in the eventual Allied victory.
Some 14 million Chinese died and up to 100 million became refugees during the eight years of the conflict with Japan from 1937 to 1945.
But overall, was the Chinese contribution to the war really so important? Consider a "what if" scenario.
On July 7, 1937, a clash between Chinese and Japanese troops at the Marco Polo Bridge, just outside Beijing, led to all-out war. A year later, by mid-1938, the Chinese military situation was desperate.
Most of eastern China lay in Japanese hands: Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan. Many outside observers assumed that China could not hold out, and the most likely scenario was a Japanese victory over China.
Nonetheless, China's leader, the Nationalist Chiang Kai-shek, along with his unlikely allies, the Communists, refused to surrender, retreating inland to carry on resistance.
This decision changed the fate of Asia.
If China had surrendered in 1938, Japan would have controlled China for a generation or more. Japan's forces might have turned toward the USSR, Southeast Asia, or even British India.
The European and Asian wars might never have come together as they did after Pearl Harbor in 1941.

One such
documentary on China, produced in 1944 by United China Relief, Inc., introduces Americans to their faraway allies: “China once seemed almost as remote as the moon to us here in America… [But] our common struggle has brought its people close to our hearts. Today our soldiers and theirs fight together on many battlefields.”
A
1941 United China Relief documentary contains an intriguing quote from Pearl S. Buck, an American who grew up in China and set her novels in the country. “I believe that China is at this very moment a pivot nation,” Buck said. “Who has her friendship will rule the future; who loses it will be lost.”
Strangely, the United States sided with China to win the war – but still lost “her friendship” thanks to the Communist victory in the Civil War (and U.S. support for the opposing Nationalists). Throughout the 1940s, Americans were strongly encouraged to view China as a friend and ally, worthy of both support and sympathy. After 1949, China became the enemy, a communist nation affiliated with the Soviet Union (another World War II ally turned Cold War antagonist). China and the United States fought each other in the Korean War and turned their propaganda machines against each other.
