I think there is a fine line of regulation. Some is needed because no regulation is dangerous but over regulation is just as dumb. The US is over regulated and China isn't regulated enough

This is where I tend to fall but I have trouble reconciling this with libertarian philosophy. I want to accept it, I really do, but there're some road blocks I just cannot get past.
It is more intellectually honest to say "all regulation is bad" than it is to say "some regulation is bad", because then by what metric do you determine which regulations are bad and which are good?
An argument I heard on another board was that china has too much central planning to be considered a true free-market system, despite lax regulations.
I suppose I just find these types of scenarios interesting as they challenge my political leanings.
