the agency’s factual findings. Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th
Cir. 2006). We deny the petition for review.
Wu claims past persecution and fear of future persecution on account of his
resistance to China’s population control policies. Substantial evidence supports
the agency’s findings that Wu failed to establish past persecution on account of his
“other resistance” to China’s population control policy, see He v. Holder, 749 F.3d
792, 796 (9th Cir. 2014), and failed to establish his fear of future persecution is
objectively reasonable, see id. Thus we deny the petition as to Wu’s asylum
claim.
Wu references withholding of removal in the conclusion of his opening
brief, but does not challenge the BIA’s determination that he waived this claim on
appeal. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
