MEMORANDUM **
Ferry Prajogo, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“U”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, see Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1244 (9th Cir.2000), and we deny the petition.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s conclusion that Prajogo failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of an enumerated ground. See INS v. Elias-Zaca *121 rias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 , 112 S.Ct. 812 , 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). The childhood incidents Prajogo described, as well as the discrimination and threats of physical violence he and his family experienced as ethnic Chinese Christians, did not amount to persecution because neither Prajogo nor his family suffered any physical harm as a result of these incidents. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1016-17 (9th Cir.2003) (discrimination and harassment do not constitute persecution).
