He was part of the winning Chinese team at the 2021, 2023, and 2025 Sudirman Cup; 2022 Asian Games, and also at the 2024 and 2026 Thomas Cup. Li reached a career high as world number 3 in the BWF World rankings on 31 October 2023.

He was part of the Chinese junior team that won the gold medals at the 2017, 2018 World Junior Championships, and 2018 Asian Junior Championships.
Li began playing badminton at the age of 6 with support from his father. Li then practiced in the Jiangxi team when he was in the elementary school. When Li was 12, he visited Fuzhou's Bayi team, eventually joining and training with them. He subsequently finished as a runner up at a national competition. At the age of 14, he participated in the National youth team training centre in Shenyang and entered the National second team in 2017.
From a young age, he was noted to display exceptional skill and determination on court, quickly rising through the ranks in China's competitive youth badminton scene, emerging as one of China's brightest badminton talents at the time. Whilst growing up and training, he stated that both Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei were his idols whilst expressing deep admiration for Japan's Kento Momota. Li said that he had a desire to incorporate their playing styles into his gameplay.
Li started off the 2024 season poorly, he participated in the 2024 Malaysia Open, beating Lee Chia-hao and Weng Hongyang in three games. However, he lost in the quarter-finals to Lin Chun-yi. He subsequently suffered multiple first and second round exits to Koki Watanabe at the India Open, Brian Yang at the Indonesia Masters, Lakshya Sen at the French Open and Toma Junior Popov at the All England Open.
Li found more success during the Asian Championships, reaching the final, but losing to Indonesia's Jonatan Christie in straight games, marking Li's first medal in this competition. He would go on to participate in the 2024 edition of the Thomas Cup, as China's second men's singles choice. He found some more success during the Thomas Cup, however, he lost to Lakshya Sen during the quarter-finals and Jonatan Christie during the finals. China would still eventually win the Thomas cup that year, marking Li's first Thomas Cup gold medal.
Li participated in the Malaysia Masters, avenging his defeat by Toma Junior Popov but ultimately losing in the quarter-finals to Ng Ka Long. At the Singapore Open, he reached his first final of 2024 beating Lei Lanxi, Lee Cheuk Yiu and Loh Kean Yew along with a semi-finals walkover from Viktor Axelsen. He lost the final to his compatriot Shi Yuqi. He would lose again to Shi Yuqi in the semi-finals of the Indonesia Open, who eventually won the tournament.
At the 2024 Olympic Games, Li was eliminated by Loh Kean Yew in the knockout stages. What followed this was a string of first, second and quarter-final round exits, losing at the Korea Open to Lee Chia-hao, China Open to Chou Tien-chen, Arctic Open to Lee Cheuk Yiu, Denmark Open to Anders Antonsen. His title drought of 2024 came to an end, winning the Japan Masters, comfortably beating 1st seed and reigning Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen in the semi-finals and Lee Chia-hao in the finals.
