Countries that have criticised China for coronavirus response and demanded investigation
United States of America
President Donald Trump, who initially downplayed the illness, has been attacking China for weeks and appeared to gain support after a videoconference among leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized nations.
France
French President Emmanuel Macron warned not to be "naive" in believing China has handled the outbreak well.
"There are clearly things that have happened that we don't know about," he said in an interview with the Financial Times.
Angela Merkel
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the "more transparent China is on the virus, the better for all".
"I believe the more transparent China is about the origin story of the virus, the better it is for everyone in the world in order to learn from it," Merkel said.
United Kingdom
United Kingdom's foreign secretary and interim prime minister Dominic Raab has also slammed the Chinese top brass for mishandling the coronavirus problem.
British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said there could be no "business as usual" with China.
"We'll have to ask the hard questions about how it came about and how it couldn't have been stopped earlier," said Raab who is filling in for Prime Minister Boris Johnson who is recovering from the virus.
Australia
Australia is one of the newest entry to the list of countries to raise doubts about how China handled the outbreak. Foreign minister Marise Payne has called for an investigation into the virus' origins.
Appearing on television in Australia, Payne said her concerns about China's transparency were at "a very high point."
