    Of course it's B, and I wrote the following one.

    Ryukyu consists of the main island of Ryukyu and 36 outlying islands. The total area is about 3,500 square kilometers. In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372), Zhongshan, Shannan, and Shanbei of the Ryukyus were successively attached to China.

    In the fourth year of Xuande (1429), Zhongshan unified the three mountains, and in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli (1609), the Satsuma Domain in southern Japan invaded the Ryukyus, and annexed the eight islands in the north of the Ryukyus privately behind the back of the Tokugawa shogunate, and on the eighth day of the third month of the fifth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (March 30, 1879), the Ryukyus perished, and the remaining land was placed by Japan as Okinawa Prefecture. In 1945, after Japan's defeat in the war, the United Nations "appointed" the United States to trusteeship the Ryukyus, and in 1953 and 1972, the United States privately "returned" the "administrative power" of the Ryukyus to Japan.

    The Ryukyu Kingdom is an archipelago under the jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture in present-day Japan.

    The Ryukyu Islands are located in the Ryukyu Islands, a group of about 60 islands, including the Okinawa Islands, Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands, and Daito Islands, located between Taiwan Province of China and Kyushu in Japan. In 1429, the three kingdoms were unified into the Ryukyu Kingdom, also known as the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was a feudal regime that once existed in the Ryukyu Islands, and the original Ryukyu Kingdom referred to the three countries of Shannan, Nakayama, and Shanbei, after which the three kingdoms were unified in 1429 and became the Ryukyu Kingdom.

    The Ryukyu Kingdom is located between the Chinese island of Taiwan and the Japanese island of Kyushu, winding 1,000 kilometers and covering a total area of 3,600 square kilometers. Because of its special geographical location, it is known as the first transit station in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and is known as "Wanguo Jinliang".

    The social culture of the Ryukyus

    Folklore: Ryukyu folk customs are influenced by Fujian, especially Quanzhou, China, such as the worship of the phoenix lion, the stone dang, the Dragon Boat Festival, the worship of the monarch of the stove, and the fourth day of the first lunar month. The tombs of the Ryukyuan people are shaped like tortoise shells, and this kind of tomb was passed from southern Fujian.

    The Ryukyuan people like to use kombu (a type of seaweed) from Hokkaido, Japan, because they are influenced by Japanese culture.

    Diet: Fujian cuisine cooking techniques were popular in the Ryukyu court and high society, and the Ryukyuan people used alkali in the same way as the Quanzhou people. Ryukyu folk orange cakes, yellow sedan chair rice cakes, Qianzhong Fu finger cakes, Shandong noodles and other foods, as well as fried tofu with bean sprouts, are also the same as the practices of the common people in Fuzhou.

    The Ryukyuan people like to drink sake called awamori, which is a distilled rice wine imported from Thailand.

    The Ryukyu Kingdom is now Japan's Lost Bend Flush Rope Prefecture. It is located between Shojo and Kyushu in Taiwan, China, and consists of more than 60 islands, including the Okinawa Islands, Miyako Islands, Yaeyama Islands, and Daito Islands, and is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east and the East China Sea to the west. As a matter of fact, the Ryukyu Islands have been one of Japan's inherent territories since ancient times.

    It was only in 1879 that Japanese soldiers tore up the "no troops" agreement reached between Chuchu, Japan, and the Ryukyus, completely annexed the Ryukyu Islands, and set up Okinawa Prefecture.

    As of December 2019, the Ryukyus are under the jurisdiction of Japan.

    The Ryukyu Islands are located in the eastern part of the East China Sea, with a total length of more than 1,000 kilometers from north to south, and a northeast and southwest direction. Historically, the Ryukyu Islands have long been part of China's sphere of influence. It is about 700 kilometers away from Shanghai, Ningbo and Wenzhou along the coast of China.

    Before 1871, there was the Ryukyu Kingdom, which stretched from Amami Oshima in the north, to Kikai Island in the east, Hateruma Island in the south, and Yonaguni Island in the west.

    In April 1947, the United Nations "Agreement on the Former Japanese Mandate Islands" handed over the Ryukyu Islands and the Diaoyu Islands to the United States for trusteeship. In 1970, the United States and Japan signed the San Francisco Peace Treaty, transferring the administration of the Ryukyus and the Diaoyu Islands to Japan. May 15, 1972 Since then, Japan has resumed the exercise of administrative authority over the Ryukyu Islands.

    The geostrategic significance of the Ryukyu Islands is closely related to China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and maritime rights and interests in the East China Sea.

    The Diaoyu Islands are separated from the Ryukyu Islands by the Okinawa Trough. Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands are an inalienable part of China's territory. From both a historical and a legal point of view, Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands are China's inherent territory, and China has indisputable sovereignty over them.

    Good afternoon, kiss. According to data provided by Japan**, the Ryukyu Islands have an area of about 4,648 square kilometers and a population of about 1.45 million people. Among them, the main island of Okinawa has an area of 1.37 million people.

    Historically, the Ryukyu Islands were an independent country, but in the 19th century, they were annexed by the Japanese Yen and became a territory of Japan. After World War II, the Ryukyu Islands became a U.S. occupation zone until 1972, when they were returned to Japan. After the restitution, the Ryukyu Islands became a special administrative region of Japan with relatively independent administrative, financial, and judicial powers.
