No, I'm talking people whose families had lived in the Bohemian region of Europe for over 2,000 years. Those people are ethnically Czech. You're being disingenuous

Czech is a ethno-Linguistic group and a nation state. Basque is an ethno-Linguistic group but does not have a nation state. Singapore is not a ethno-Linguistic group but is a nation state. Its not that complicated to understand.

no disingenuousness, just facts.
Czech, Slovenian, and Slovak are terms of nationality, not ethnicity. you're just going to have to deal with it.

The individual in your scenario would be of Chinese ancestry, who speaks a Slavic language and who is a citizen of the Czech Republic. He would be considered Czech by citizenship and by language but not Czech by heritage and ethnicity.
