Tyias Charles Browning was born in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. He attended the same school as his future Wigan Athletic teammates Lee Nicholls and Jack Phillips. He is eligible to play for the China national team because his maternal grandfather Ying-Wing Chiang (1939–1992), a chef in Macclesfield, England, was Cantonese, having emigrated from Meige Village, Xinhui County, China. Chiang married a Black British woman. In 2019, Browning became a naturalised Chinese citizen, benefiting from the Chinese football naturalisation policies. He later changed his name to Jiang Guangtai.
