LYNCH, Chief Judge.

Ru Xiu Chen and his wife Xiu Jin Zheng, both natives and citizens of China, petition for review of a final order by the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), denying their applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). The BIA affirmed the decision of an Immigration Judge ("IJ"), who denied their applications on the basis of an adverse credibility finding. We deny their petition.
