MEMORANDUM **

Li Xiao, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility determinations created by the REAL ID Act. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-40 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.'

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination based on the IJ’s demeanor finding, as well as the omission from Xiao’s written application of the injuries he suffered from beatings by the police or the car accident that served as a motivation for his adoption of Christianity. See id, at 1048 (adverse credibility determination reasonable under the “totality of circumstances”). Xiao’s explanations do not compel a contrary result. See Zamanov v. Holder, 649 F.3d 969, 974 (9th Cir. 2011). In the absence of credible testimony, Xiao’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).

Finally, substantial evidence also supports the agency’s denial of Xiao’s CAT claim because it was based on the same testimony found not credible, and the record does not otherwise compel the finding that it is more likely than not Xiao would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to China, See Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1048-49.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
