Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Linyu Wang, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's 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 the agency's adverse credibility determinations. Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962 (9th Cir.2004). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's adverse credibility determination because Wang's testimony was internally inconsistent and inconsistent with supporting documents regarding both the central incident of harm he allegedly suffered and when he was fired from his factory job. See Don v. Gonzales, 476 F.3d 738, 741-43 (9th Cir.2007). In the absence of credible testimony, Wang's asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).
Because Wang's CAT claim is based on the same testimony found to be not credible, and he does not point to any other evidence that compels the conclusion that it is more likely than not he would be tortured if returned to China, his CAT claim fails. See id. at 1156-57.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
