Ng seeks review only of the IJ’s denial of withholding of removal, conceding that her asylum claim is pretermitted by her delayed filing. We review the IJ’s determination under the substantial evidence standard. Singh v. INS, 134 F.3d 962, 971 n.16 (9th Cir. 1998). In order to obtain mandatory withholding of removal, “the alien [must] demonstrate[ ] ‘a clear probability of persecution’ by showing that it is ‘more likely than not that the alien will be persecuted if deported.’ ” Singh, 134 F.3d at 971 (quoting Ghaly v. INS, 58 F.3d 1425, 1429 (9th Cir. 1995)). Although “ethnic Chinese are significantly disfavored in Indonesia,” Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927 (9th Cir. 2004), this fact alone is insufficient to mandate withholding of removal.
