How often does Germany come up in international news, compared to America or China? Not as often, I expect. Even Russia probably comes up more. Although, not usually for good reasons. News is not the only barometer of 'power'. They aren't going to release a press release every time a country in the EU is influenced by German policy even a bit, but those sorts of changes add up.
