MEMORANDUM **

Jiazeng Zhao petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’s order denying him asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. We deny the petition.

1. At oral argument, counsel conceded that the petition may be denied as to Zhao’s alleged resistance to China’s one-child policy.

2. While Zhao alleges that the police beat him because of his political opinion regarding the government’s complicity in an unfair eviction scheme, “the record does not compel us to hold that [Zhao] was attacked on account of’ a statutorily protected ground. Regalado-Escobar v. Holder, 717 F.3d 724, 730 (9th Cir. 2013). Zhao’s argument is plausible, but it is also plausible that the government punished Zhao for overstaying or squatting in a residence from which he had been evicted after receiving compensation. Our standard of review is stringent, and Zhao is entitled to relief only if the record compels the conclusion that his version of the facts is correct. On this record, we defer to the agency’s decision because the record *332 doesn’t compel us to credit Zhao’s argument.

Petition DENIED.
