No, React is a framework library. JavaScript is a programming language.

Have you even clicked the link?

If the headline were "The Earth Is Flat", would you need to click any links to know it's false?

But yes, actually I did. And it turned out to be wrong from the start (as shown by the obviously false headline): "...but it does all that using react (not JS)." Yeah well, but since React is a framework library in JavaScript, that IS using JavaScript.

For all I know the functions in LibC could also add up to a Turing-complete system, but that still doesn't make LibC a programming language either. It's C. So it seems "Turing complete" =/= "programming language". HTH!
