The U.S. Commerce Department on Feb. 7 announced it has added 33 Chinese entities to its red flag list, warning American companies that they should treat them with extra caution.

The majority of the flagged companies are electronic firms, but the list also includes an optics company, a turbine blade company, a state-run university laboratory, and a university department, according to a notice (pdf) in the Federal Register.
