The Indian defeated Minghu to clinch an 11-0 victory by technical superiority.
It is India's fifth wrestling medal, all bronze, in Hangzhou, following Sunil Kumar, Antim Panghal, Kiran and Sonam Malik.
Aman was quick to get off the mark in fashion, executing a takedown first up. Liu was completely flabbergasted as Aman scored his second takedown.
A passivity warning was given to the Chinese wrestler, who failed to get a point on a defensive Aman.
Aman's other comfortable takedown absolutely shocked the Chinese wrestler, who was definitely not prepared for India's prowess in this match. He pushed his opponent out of bounds while pinning him down to claim a podium finish.
Later in the day, Bajrang Punia will look to add one more to the tally as he will also feature in bronze medal bouts.
