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, 502 U.S. 478,
481 (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
