The 28-year-old left-back joins Brighton following the expiration of her contract with Chinese Super League club Jiangsu.
Brighton head coach Melissa Phillips was delighted with Li's signing.
“Li is a fantastic signing to join our squad this pre-season. Her experience as a player and individual will add depth to the squad as we continue to build our identity both on and off the pitch.
“Her knowledge of the game at domestic and international level will be incredibly beneficial to our team. She’ll be a key figure within our backline as we continue to solidify our defence ahead of another competitive WSL (Women's Super League) season.”
