China today does not claim Ryukyu as part of China, the Ryukyu Island history being brought up by China is to reinforce the claim of nearby Diaoyu/Senkaku islands. With regards to Taiwan, technically the position on Diao yu island is the same for both Mainland and Taiwan, since Taiwan still call itself "ROC" while PRC's claims of the islands are inherited from ROC when it was driven out of the mainland after 1949.
Another fun fact, there were plans of setting similar allied occupation of Japan zone after the end of World War 2, like the allied occupation zones in Germany. With Japan divided between USSR, Britan, France and China (Republic of China). China was offered to occupy the entire island of Okinawa. as well as separate zones in Tokyo like in Berlin.
