The international collaboration of VLBI in East Asia (EA) is rapidly growing. Besides the recent successful operation of the KVN and VERA Array (KaVA), the effort of joint VLBI operation in EA is being expanded into China. This forms the East Asian VLBI Network (EAVN), which offers detailed imaging and monitoring of the innermost regions of relativistic jets at cm wavelengths and thus complementary to the Event Horizon Telescope operated at mm wavelengths. In this contribution we present some of the ongoing KaVA/EAVN studies for the inner jets of the two important nearby radio galaxies 3C84 and M87. The observations have revealed detailed kinematics for the parsec-to-subparsec-scale structures of these jets. Future regular observations with the East-Asia-To-Italy-Nearly-Global (EATING) VLBI, a joint effort between EAVN and the Italian VLBI Network, will enable us to resolve and regularly monitor the innermost regions of nearby AGN jets at tens of micro-arcsecond scales.
