If you flash the V -sign knuckles out, it amounts to raising the middle
digit (in the rude manner), at least if you're british (or the dumb Dane I
am :-) )

The V for Victory was definetly 'knuckles in' - just do a google on "V sign
+ Churchill"

China's first taikonaut is safely home.

He flashed the "V" signal, with the palm out. What would that signify
to a Chinese audience? Presumably not V-for-Victory, since Churchill
flashed with the knuckles out. "Peace", like in the 1970s (more often
called the 1960s)?
