Definition
提拔 (tíbá) means 'to promote' someone to a higher position, specifically when a superior selects and elevates a subordinate. It differs from 晋升 (jìnshēng), which is used for the individual's own promotion (often in rank or title), and from 提升 (tíshēng), which has a broader meaning including physical lifting or improving quality/ability.
