Chinese citizen’s claim of changed country conditions based on China’s “one-child” policy

Liang v. Holder, 09-3713, concerned a Chinese citizen’s petition for review of the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen and again apply for asylum, withholding of removal and CAT protection.  In denying the petition, the court held that the BIA gave a rational explanations for its conclusion that petitioner failed to show changed country conditions regarding China’s “one-child” policy, in her home province since the time of her initial asylum hearing.  Further, the BIA’s decision did not inexplicably depart from established policies or rest on an impermissible basis.
