The 16-year-old touched the wall in 1 minute, 35.96 seconds, just 17 hundredths of a second ahead of the Brazilian. Colombia's Moises Fuentes Garcia clinched bronze in 1:37.40.
Dias said he was surprised by Li's performance but added that his rival was a deserving winner.
"I confess ... The Chinese surprised me, and all of us. China are also showing the world that they are very strong and we have to lift our game."
Li was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was one and took up swimming in 2012.
Chen Junfei leapt a personal best 4.77m to win gold in the women's long jump.
The 24-year-old recored a best jump of 4.77m to beat Australia's Taylor Doyle by 15cm. Poland's Anna Trener-Wierciak took bronze with 4.53m.
Chen also won gold in the 200m T38 at the London 2012 Games.
Wang Yinan grabbed his fourth Paralympic gold medal by winning the men's 100m freestyle S8.
The 26-year-old touched the wall in 56.80 seconds to beat his compatriot Song Maodang by 1.33 seconds. Britain's Craig Josef pocketed bronze in 58.19.
Wang also won the 100m freestyle S8, 400m freestyle S8 and 4x100m medley relay 34 points at the London 2012 Games.
He was born with cerebral palsy, which resulted in an impairment to his right foot.
