The Nationalists occupied Hainan as well. It was the last territory they lost to the Communists. It's not ASB for the KMT to hold onto the province until hostilities cease. An American naval presence in the area might have done the trick.
The thing is, Hainan is just too close to the mainland for it to be successfully defended.
