North Korea on Wednesday ridiculed Japan over its frequent changes of leaders, saying the country has become "the laughing stock of the world."
The North's official Korean Central News Agency criticized some Japanese lawmakers and commentators for speculating a possible collapse of the system in North Korea in the wake of the death of leader Kim Jong Il in December.
"Japan has topped the world list of replacement of prime ministers, becoming the laughing stock of the world and not a day passes without unstable domestic politics," KCNA said in a commentary. "Hence, Japan will never understand the social system in the DPRK, most stable in the world."
The commentary said North Korea's system "has grown more solid than a rock," suggesting the country has undergone a leadership transition from Kim Jong Il to his successor Kim Jong Un in a relatively stable manner.
"It is ridiculous, indeed, for the Japanese authorities to trumpet about 'collapse of system,' availing themselves of this opportunity," it said.
Citing declining public support rates for Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's Cabinet, KCNA criticized Japan for failing to offer official condolences on Kim Jong Il's death and blocking a visit to Pyongyang by a senior member of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, or Chongryon, to pay respects.
"The Japanese authorities feared that their flexible attitude towards the great loss the Korean nation suffered might cause the support rate for them to further sink," KCNA said in a separate commentary Tuesday.
"Precisely for this reason the present rulers took a high-handed attitude to meet the interests of the anti-DPRK forces who consider the abduction issue as a lever for keeping themselves alive," it said, stressing the issue of past abductions of Japanese citizens by North Korea "no longer exists."

Former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il died in a fit of rage on Dec. 17, 2011 after being briefed about a serious leak at a hydro-electric power plant, a source claims. The plant in Huichon, Jagang Province was built to supply about half of the power needs of the capital Pyongyang.
"After being briefed about the leak, Kim Jong-il lambasted officials and ordered them to repair it," said the source, who asked to remain anonymous. "He rushed to make an on-site inspection of the facility unable to contain his anger and died suddenly."
