Why did adeline hate china in chinese cinderella?

Adeline doesn't hate China in "Chinese Cinderella" by Vivian Vande Velde. She despises her stepmother, who is Chinese, but her dislike is not directed at China or Chinese people in general.

Here's why Adeline resents her stepmother:

* Stepmother's favoritism: Adeline's stepmother, "The Dragon Lady," treats her own daughter, Cindy, with favoritism, showering her with love and gifts while neglecting and mistreating Adeline.

* Emotional abuse: The stepmother is emotionally abusive, constantly criticizing Adeline, making her feel worthless, and undermining her self-esteem.

* Control and manipulation: The stepmother tries to control every aspect of Adeline's life, including her appearance, activities, and relationships.

Adeline's resentment stems from her stepmother's behavior and her own feelings of neglect and injustice, not from any dislike of China or Chinese culture. In fact, Adeline eventually comes to appreciate Chinese culture and traditions through her interactions with Cindy and their Chinese heritage.
