Should we block Baidu on Non-Chinese website?

Should we block Non-Chinese content from Baidu?I recently just realize Baidu don`t support hreflang. As a result, should we use robots.txt to block non-Chinese contents from Baidu instead? Let me know your thought or experience, thank.

Michael Martinez: Baidu does index English-language content and, I would guess, probably also other languages. They can also send traffic to non-Chinese Websites that seems relevant and interested. That said, I have never seen the traffic convert on my agency`s own portfolio and we tend to block Baidu crawlers in our firewall. Before making such a decision, you should look at the available data and determine if your non-Chinese content is benefiting in any way from Baidu.
