PER CURIAM:

Kui Zheng, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal

from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying his application for asylum. We have

thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that the evidence does not compel a ruling

contrary to any of the administrative factual findings, see U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B), and that

substantial evidence supports the denial of relief, see INS v. Elias-Zacarias,

(1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the

Board. In re Zheng (B.I.A. June 29, 2021). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
