How Google Sees Links from Other Languages & Countries

Here is how John Mueller said to handle links from other countries and languages.

"In general, links from other countries are fine. It’s not something you’d need to suppress or remove or put in a disavow file. Sometimes you even get links from other languages where you don’t even know what they’re really writing about in regards to your website. And that can also be fine. So that’s not something I’d say you need to artificially prune or fine tune there. The way links to come to your site is essentially out of your control for a large extent."
