If professor agrees to accept you in his lab. (Remember: you dun need acceptance letter for it as you need in Chinese Scholarships). You need to have professor consent in emails. When you will fill university admissions form of GKS, then you will mention that professor name in it. University will then nominate you as its GKS candidate after your admission application submitted there and will send your name to GKS headquarters. Where GKS will select the students from all the nominations of university track.
