We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings and review de novo legal determinations. Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009). We deny the petition for review. Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Cahyadi’s experiences in Indonesia do not amount to past persecution. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975–76 (9th Cir. 2009). Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s conclusion that Cahyadi failed to establish a well-founded fear of future harm because, even as a member of a disfavored group, he failed to demonstrate a sufficient individualized risk of persecution. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1184 (9th Cir. 2003). Further, the record does not compel the conclusion that there is a pattern and practice of persecution against Chinese Christians in Indonesia. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1061. Accordingly, Cahyadi’s asylum claim fails. Because Cahyadi failed to establish eligibility for asylum, he necessarily fails to meet the higher standard of eligibility for withholding of removal. See Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir. 2006). Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Cahyadi did 2 not establish a likelihood of torture by, at the instigation of, or with the consent or acquiescence of the Indonesian government. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1067–68. Accordingly, his CAT claim also fails. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 3
