Bishop Li is the fifth bishop consecrated in China after Rome and Beijing signed a provisional agreement in October 2018. 

In October 2020, Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, announced that the agreement had been renewed for another two years. The Holy See hopes it will allow for bishops to be appointed to the dozens of vacant dioceses in China.
