MEMORANDUM **
Jian Fu Chi, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision summarily affirming an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for substantial evidence, Wang v. INS, 352 F.3d 1250, 1253 (9th Cir.2003), we deny the petition for review.
The IJ’s adverse credibility finding rests in part on conflicting accounts given by Chi regarding alleged incidents of religious persecution suffered by members of *594his family at the hands of Chinese authorities. Because these inconsistencies go to the heart of Chi’s claim of persecution, they constitute substantial evidence supporting the finding that Chi was not credible. See id. at 1259 (where at least “one of the identified grounds is supported by substantial evidence and goes to the heart of [a petitioner’s] claim of persecution, we are bound to accept the IJ’s adverse credibility finding”).
Accordingly, Chi has failed to show eligibility for asylum or withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003). Chi’s CAT claim fails because it is based on the same testimony that the IJ concluded was incredible. See id. at 1157.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
