Definition
上报 (shàng bào) means 'to report to a higher authority' — it always implies reporting upward within an organization or government. This contrasts with 汇报 (huì bào), which is a more general 'report on work/findings' that can go up, down, or sideways; and 通报 (tōng bào), which is an official notification that can go either upward or downward. 上报 is specifically about submitting information to one's superiors.
