The signal that a "Shooter" gives to the Catapult operator to launch the aircraft. That signal, namely Go\Launch, is also called "Elvis Presley in Vegas." on the deck. This is the final signal and one of the most iconic signal given b4 they launch the aircraft.
Here is a funny video of the final sequences of the cat launch. Though funny, it shows the shooter action before and after the aircraft is handed over to the particular shooter. The final signal during the launch is the "Go\Launch" signal:-
Note: Those shooters are enacting only b4 the aircraft is handed over to them.
Plus I am a bit surprised that you Chinese went for the USN carrier operation hand signals... I thought they will create their own version of the signals...
