ダイナスティカップ
Li Ming was called up to the Chinese U-23 team and was part of the team that was knocked-out in the qualifiers for the Football at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Despite this he was called up to the senior team by Qi Wusheng who tried him out within the 1995 Dynasty Cup where Li Ming made his debut on February 19, 1995 against South Korea in a 0-0 draw. His time for the national team was sporadic until Bora Milutinovic became manager and after Li Ming's successful title win he was called back into the team in 2000 for several further friendlies, however he could not do enough to remain a permanent member.
