Socialism is common ownership of the means of production through dissolution of class and subsequently freedom from capitalist exploitation, whereas communism is the same thing yet on an international (nationless) level. China not only has a class society and a market economy, but it also endorses private property. It's just as capitalist as America is.
There has never actually been a proper representation of communism to date (unless you count the communal societies practiced by both the American Indians and some African societies), and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is rewriting history and outright lying. The main want of communism is to destroy exploitation, and replace it with a society controlled solely by the community (the likes of you and me)through planning and sharing, rather than competitive and inegalitarian markets.
I suggest you take a look at 'The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx, Along with "The Principles of Communism" by Friedrich Engels. These are considered by many to be the basis of which our entire ideology rests. If you do not have much time, then you may wish to read Engels' work as it is shorter and serves as an introduction to socialism and revolutionary communism.
Who knows? If you read these and still disagree with communism, then that's fine because you've made an analyses of their foundations and drawn a conclusion. But on the flip-side, you might find something you agree with.
