It is my understanding that, while Brazil is a major grower of soybeans, they consume much of their production domestically and have no huge surplus to export...

Not sure about soy, but Brazil turns a lot of crops into ethanol.

There’s only so many soybeans and you can’t instantly grow more, so China had to pay Brazil a premium to replace those they were getting from us. China loves soybeans and can only grow 10% of its needs, so they will cave, just a question of when.
