"The application details that, instead of letting a new block store transactions from its previous one, a data compressing system could be used to pack transactions from multiple blocks into what the patent calls a "data block."

Did you know why china needs this thing for the system run the packed data through function with hash value.

First, as I can't stop myself from saying this....

Something from China patenting something is just .... Cheesy
The masters of copy paste are doing patents now.

The application details that, instead of letting a new block store transactions from its previous one, a data compressing system could be used to pack transactions from multiple blocks into what the patent calls a "data block."
For instance, as the patent application describes, once the system receives a request to compress transactions from block 1 to 1,000, it causes a new data block to be formed and temporarily hosted on a different storage system. The system will then run the packed data through a hash function with a hash value.

There is nothing that innovative on this.
It's a basic and rather crude method of pruning by removing the header.
