Occidental (as an adjective) is a literary or formal word for western. It is usually capitalized if you are using it to refer to people in its noun form like an inhabitant, especially a native, of the Occident. Henry David Thoreau uses the word in a famous quote: "There is a struggle between the Oriental and the Occidental in every nation; some who would be forever contemplating the sun, and some who are hastening toward the sunset. The former class says to the latter, "when you have reached the sunset, you will be no nearer to the sun." To which the latter replies, "but we so prolong the day."" Oriental is pertaining to, or characteristic of the Orient, or East; Eastern.

Could Southeast Asia be described as a site of Western European colonization?
What is "Western European"? Are you trying to differentiate between a East European and a Western European? Or...are you using the term "Western" and meaning a "European"? Meaning that a Westerner IS A EUROPEAN. We'll use the second definition, as that might be what you really meant. To answer your question: North America, Central America, South America, Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia were sites of European colonization. Europe (in general)/China (in general)/Japan were never colonized. For future reference: Western=Occidental & Eastern=Oriental (the Orient=East/the Occident=West).
