Interested in Alibaba Stocks. What’s the difference between the one in HKEX (HKEX:9988) and in NYSE (NYSE:BABA)?

Currently conducting fundamental analysis on HKEX:9988 and realised that they only did IPO in 2017, hence only 2-3 years of data is available. Is it fair to analyze the one in NYSE:BABA and assume it is the same for HKEX:9988? 9988 is more attractive to me due to its lower price and not needing to pay any taxes.
