How do I zoom the map in and out in Far Cry 2?

I used to know how to zoom the map in and out in Far Cry 2 (PC version). It was an undocumented control bound to one of the other controls in the game. Now I can't remember what it is. Any help?

I can't change the way the wheel works to change weapons, scrolling down switches to the previous weapon, scrolling up switches to the next. However I'm used to have it the other way. I can only bind other keys but not change the wheel itself. Is…

Why does Voorhees call me "china"?

In several occasions, Hector Voorhees will refer to the player as "china". I didn't play as Xianyong Bai so why would he call me that? Is it a nickname or slang for something?
