Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Fauzan Fasya, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order summarily affirming his appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir.2006), and we deny the petition for review.
The record does not compel the conclusion that Fasya established he suffered past persecution when he witnessed two Chinese people being beaten. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1016 (9th Cir.2003). Substantial evidence supports the agency's finding that, even as a member of a disfavored group of Chinese Indonesians, Fasya has not established a well-founded fear of future persecution because there is no evidence that he faces an individualized risk of harm. Cf. Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 925 (9th Cir.2004); see Lolong v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1179 (9th Cir.2007) (en banc). Accordingly, Fasya's asylum claim fails.
Because Fasya failed to meet the lower burden of proof for asylum, it follows that he has not met the higher standard for withholding of removal. See Ze-hatye, 453 F.3d at 1190.
Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency's denial of CAT relief because Fasya failed to establish it is more likely than not that he will be tortured if returned to Indonesia. See Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1067-68 (9th Cir.2009).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
