Mr. Tu‘s English fluency is also excellent. I used to blame Confucianism for China‘s late scientific development; as it is inward exploration and self-improvement focused.
Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew displayed a Confucius statue in his office . He admired Confucius and implemented Confucius' thoughts during his governance in Singapore ...
Professor Tu mentioned (I believe) a deficit in the Confucian tradition for awe of the natural world. I wonder if Daoism can fill that gap. The two traditions have always seemed complimentary to me, each one addressing shortcomings in the other. Like Yin and Yang.
In over simplify manner, Confucian tradition is about self cultivated and discipline, voluntary duty and moral responsible with social, harmony between individual and society. Taoism is harmony with nature, both inner and outside. Buddhism is about spiritual enlighten and transcendent. Not in strictly sense, three of those is combined harmony in Eastern culture, complement and enhanced each other. And people in that culture respect and follow three of those at the same time. For them discipline and duty not contradict with freedom, you can't be truly free if you not harmony with society or nature or with oneself.
But why did Mao dislike Confucius so much and why has the Communist Party China recently come to like Confucius so much? Must have something to do with Confucius', like Plato's, defense of a hierarchical political system as the best ...
Two things: they do not like Confucius that much, just look up the incident with the Confucius statue in Tiananmen, and secondly the Communist Party acts primarily for their own convenience, for their own survival that is, they hope that a narrow reading of confucius would justify them, just like many emperors did before them.

It is misleading to oppose self and others. To attain personhood 做人 certainly include relations to others.
