BEIJING (Reuters) -- Around 40 Brazilian soybean ships are expected to have docked at China's Zhoushan port in April, up 48% from last year, a social media account affiliated with the state broadcaster reported on Monday, as China shuns U.S. suppliers in an escalating trade war.

The account, Yuyuantantian, said the port is projected to unload a total of 700,000 tonnes of Brazilian soybeans this month, a 32% increase.
