Would Imperial Japan's rise to power, and eventual invasion of many European colonies during World War II, count? On one hand, it's an example of an Asian empire seizing territory from European colonial powers (after having been briefly subject to pressure from those same powers around the end of the Edo period). And even before WWII, Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War came as a shock to European colonizers too. On the other hand, Japan was already recognized as a fellow colonial power by the time of WWII, and the people who suffered the worst under Japanese rule were fellow Asians (albeit of different ethnicities that Japan regarded as inferior).
